Imperfections?

10.5 x 10.5” silver gelatin print, lettering scratched into emulsion
“A continuation of the body image project I began earlier this semester. I felt like I really needed to branch out from the straightforward portraiture I was doing before, and really dig into the grit of the issue.
The text was selected for each photo based on what my models told me they did not like about their bodies, or other parts of conversation I had with them while we were shooting. By ripping into the emulsion of the prints, I am representing the way in which people rip themselves apart in front of the mirror. This section of my exploration into body image issues deals specifically with things that people do not like about themselves, and I’m so proud of each of my models for being brave enough to allow me to photograph things that they don’t like about themselves.”
